The national environmental problem sparked solidarity to build a sustainable research collaboration. As settlement form, dissemination of research results as published in international journal ScienceDirect, are reasons for this study. To analyze certain indicators of environmental research trends since 2006-2015 used bibliometric. The aims are to investigate the strength, growth, and character of collaboration, including Indonesian collaborators by geographic. As a result, number of national environmental-related collaborations reached 90% of 338 products obtained. Evolution fluctuates but tends to rise with an average growth of 36.07%. Indonesia dominates the cooperations and one-third more is generated from coalitions between countries. Strong influence of Indonesia is due to role of 41 national institutions and four of them are very prominent namely IPB, UNDIP, UGM, and UI. According to its geographical area, productive contributors reside in West Java, Jakarta, Central Java, and all three belong a competent zone in controlling international collaboration. National patnersare 28 countries and majority of most active collaborators are familiar to Indonesia researchs. Seeing this, local environmental issues potentially serve as asset of cooperation with collaborators, especially those located in Asia. From this study results, national researchers are encouraged to build partnerships to increase publications in international journals as well as solve their domestic environmental problems.
